From Buying The Dress, To Finding The Perfect Date, Prom Is Worth It

The $100-$500 dress, the shoes that give you blisters, the stress of not knowing how to look and the fighting about making plans is worth it.

The DJ at my Junior prom was the actual worst expectation that you could have of one, he made remixes of all the today's hits and made slow songs fast. That was the only bad thing about my first prom experience. Other than that, I had a great date, great friends, and a great time.

Prom is worth it because for the day it feels like everything is about you. The dress you want to wear, the shoes you choose to torture you (excluding the girls that wear converse or vans), and how you want your hair and makeup. On top of all that every's parents are gathered around to take pictures just like you're on the red carpet.

The attention isn't only the best part, if you have a good date, it could be a fantastic night. Obviously, if you don't talk to the person you're going with it's going to be awkward so why put yourself in that situation? If you go to prom, go to have fun with friends or your boyfriend/girlfriend. Don't put yourself in a situation where you're going to have a bad time because you will get what you give.

Also, to the male dates that think they're only at prom for the show, you're wrong. You can hype yourself up and think about how look you look very handsome in a tux. Your date will love seeing you in it and guys don't get pictures of themselves as often as girls, so this is your time to get some great Instagram pictures.

In all honesty, to have an amazing night like prom night and to be looking so good, the money is worth it. Don't miss your senior prom because of a broken relationship, friendship, or because you don't have a date. Senior prom is the last dance of high school and the opportunity to dance around in a gym with the people you grew up with will never happen again. I hope you choose to go and I hope you have a wonderful time!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
